January 10, 2013
Is your child for school or nursery in September? Have you ever thought about Irish-medium Education for your child? Would you like your child to be fluent in Irish? More and more parents are considering Irish-medium education for their children.
Did you know that South Armagh and South Down has a growing Irish-medium Edcation Sector. We have Naíscoileanna (Nurseries) in Newry, Camlough and Jonesboro and Bunscoil an Iúir (Irish-medium primary school) in Newry. There is also post primary provision in Armagh and Castlewellan.
School transport is available to children attending Bunscoil an Iúir from Whitecross through to Camlough and into the Bunscoil, from Hilltown and Mayobridge and from Meigh. Educational Attainment levels are high and we have statistical evidence from CCEA to support this. Our children are happy at school and so are their parents.
At the Bunscoil we have an early bird club which is a great help to working parents, a homework club and an afterschools club. Parents you do not have to speak Irish for your child to attend Irish-medium education.
Currently there is a total of around 90 schools in the North providing Irish-medium Education to almost 5,000 children at pre-school, primary and post primary level. The Irish-medium sector has been growing steadily in recent years and this growth looks set to continue with new schools opening every year.

Amhras léirithe faoi shuirbhéanna ar phátrúnacht
December 21, 2012
Tá sé ráite ag an bhForas Pátrúnachta gur gá a bheith ‘staidéartha’ i leith torthaí na tuairisce a d’fhoilsigh an Roinn Oideachais an tseachtain seo caite faoi phátrúnacht ar scoileanna.
Dúirt Caoimhín Ó hEarra, Ard-Rúnaí ma heagraíochta: “Is léir go bhfuil tuismitheoirí ag lorg rogha oideachais dá bpáistí agus tá súil againn tríd an bpróiseas go mbeidh oideachas lánGhaeilge á chur ar fáil i gceantair nach bhfuil i láthair na huaire.”
Dhírigh an suirbhé píolótach ar chúig cheantar ar leith; an tInbhear Mór, Caisleán an Bharraigh, an Trá Mhór, Baile Átha Troim agus Fionnbhrú. Ghlac 1,788 tuismitheoir a raibh leanaí réamhscoile agus bunscoile acu páirt sna suirbhéanna i mí Dheireadh Fómhair.
Léirigh idir 10% agus 21% gurbh fhearr leo oideachas lánGhaeilge dá bpáistí. Tá Gaelscoileanna sna cúig cheantar cheana féin agus dúirt an tuairisc gur féidir leo freastal ar an éileamh reatha don Ghaelscolaíocht.
Mhaígh Ó hEaghra go raibh laigeachtaí ag baint leis an suirbhé de bharr líon íseal na dtuismitheoirí a ghlac páirt ann. “Os rud é go raibh scoileanna lánGhaeilge sna ceantair sin is léir go raibh tuismitheoirí chun dul i dtreo an rogha nach raibh ar fáil ina gceantar,” ar seisean.
“Is ábhar imní é nach bhfuil léargas níos iomláine á fháil ar mhianta tuismitheoirí. Bhí an suirbhé ag díriú ar phátrúnacht, ar shainspiorad spioradálta na scoile agus ar theanga na scoile ach ba léir go ndearna na meáin Bhéarla neamhaird ar cheist na teanga agus iad ag clúdach an tsuirbhé i rith an phróisis,” a dúirt sé.
Léirigh an tAthair Micheal Drumm, as Comhpháirtíocht na Scoileanna Caitliceacha amhras i dtaobh na bhfigiúirí chomh maith. Dúirt sé nach dtugann na figiúirí sa suirbhé léargas ceart ar thuairimí tuismitheoirí an cheantair agus d’iarr sé ar an Roinn Oideachais na figiúirí a chur i gcomhthéacs mór-phobail scoile an cheantair.
Tá an Roinn Oideachais chun suirbhé níos forleithne a dhéanamh sa bhliain úr in 38 ceantar eile. Dar leis an bhForas Pátrúnachta beidh torthaí éagsúla ar an tuairisc mar go mbeidh ceantair atá gan soláthar gaelscoile san áireamh.
“Tá sé curtha in iúl ag an bhForas Pátrúnachta ó thosaigh an próiseas seo gur fhás scoileanna lánGhaeilge ó éileamh na dtuismitheoirí,” arsa Ó hEaghra.
“Go stairiúil, tosaíonn siad beag ach nuair a thuigeann an pobal áitiúil na buntáistí a bhaineann le hoideachas lánGhaeilge tagann fás agus borradh ar scoileanna.
“Ina theannta sin, tá gá le hardú feasachta i measc an phobail go ginearálta maidir le buntáistí oideachas dátheangach,” ar seisean.
